We brewed a Steinbier (Hot Rocks)...FireStone Ale
We kept the last 3 stones of the boil to place in the primary...yeasties should eat the sugars off of the stones

will do...we used a partial grain/extract recipe for this...we had a SMaSH Pale in the Mash tun.
and didn't want to chance a mess up with an all grain.

If it turns out to be a great beer, we'll to an all grain next time

Haha nice. I think when I was reading up on it granite was the consensus. It was suggested hitting up a monument company for scrap stuff but even better if you don't have to go to far.

I did 40L of a mild, no sparge, but needed to top up with about 3L before the boil. Keggle was up to the cutout for the mash.

Pretty much the same on my equipment. I think my current IPA I needed a 10l top-up, but my Ordinary Bitter had none.
Currently on tap: Nothing!
In keg: Still nothing.

So with a 70 (or is that 80?) qt cooler one can do 40L 1.055.. so a 100 qt should more or less do 40L batches of big'ish beers no problem (say a 1.070 IPA)?

That is what I'm thinking of doing..

Also, technically I should be able to do 20L of 1.055 in say a 40 qt cooler?

Got my 20L oak barrel today. I'm planning on brewing a RIS pretty soon and let it barrel age for awhile.

That thing is awesome Shane :rockin:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
